Little Girl

She gives a tight hug to the Teddy 

Have to leave him behind 

She can’t keep too many items 

Moving to a new school 

New places and new people 

Looking for new friends 

Getting replanted in new soil 

She accepts the change gracefully

I look at her maturity 

I admire her ability 

Wish I was there for her

To hold her hands 

To guide her through the changes 

To help her make new friends 

But she’s always with me 

Ripping my maturity 

Holding my memories tight 

Reflecting her pain

I live her adult life 

Split from my world 

She lives personified
